Includes multiple closed MSW and C&D landfills along with recently (2008) opened South Wake Landfill (MSW) – 25 + year remaining capacity
Unlike NWLF, County decided to pursue Land Use Master Plan well in advance of closure of the landfill
Master Plan conducted over a 2 year period and the Outreach included staff from Apex and Holly Springs, adjacent property owners and the community at largeSlide12Slide13
South Wake LandfillMaster Plan divided into Districts
Districts have pre-closure opportunities (closure refers to when the SWLF closes). Opportunities include recreation, energy applications, County development and/or sale for private development.
Districts with limited or no pre-closure opportunities have post-closure concepts listed such as recreation or energy applications.
In most cases, there are prerequisites to these opportunities such as access roads or old landfill mining.Slide14
South Wake LandfillMaster Plan has already provided guidance for a couple of projects:
Sale of some excess borrow property to Holly Springs
for various recreational uses, including a Coastal Plain League
baseball team
Numerous inquiries regarding available land – able to provide potential developer with good information
Redevelopment of current CC, MMRF and HHW sites – design this FY with construction in 2015/16Slide15
